Does outsourcing to the Philippines take jobs away from Australians?

Jeff Collinson, founder and CEO of Phil Labor, answers that directly.

We've never told a business to swap out a good Australian employee to save on the hourly rate. Offshore staff should add capacity and resilience, not replace people already doing valued work. For most businesses, the real question isn't Australian or Filipino, it's whether the support gets brought in at all. The right offshore hire frees up your Australian team to focus on customers and relationships, which often protects and grows local jobs rather than cutting them.

Phil Labor is an Australian company. Clients contract with us locally, while our Philippine-registered partner ensures every team member is ethically employed and supported.
